Provision of the website and creation of log files

Each time you visit our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the device (e.g. computer, mobile phone, tablet, etc.).

What personal data is collected and to what extent is it processed?

  1. Information about the type of browser and the version used;

  2. The operating system of the accessing device;

  3. Host name of the accessing computer;

  4. The IP address of the accessing device;

  5. Date and time of access;

  6. Websites and resources (images, files, other page content) that were accessed on our website;

  7. Websites from which the user’s system accessed our website (referrer tracking);

  8. Message as to whether the access was successful;

  9. Volume of data transferred.

This data is stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with the personal data of a specific user, so that individual site visitors cannot be identified.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR (legitimate interest). Our legitimate interest is to ensure the achievement of the purpose described below.

Purpose of the data processing

The temporary (automated) storage of the data is necessary for the course of a website visit in order to enable delivery of the website. The storage and processing of personal data is also carried out to maintain the compatibility of our website for as many visitors as possible and to combat abuse and eliminate malfunctions. For this purpose, it is necessary to log the technical data of the accessing computer in order to be able to react as early as possible to display errors, attacks on our IT systems and/or errors in the functionality of our website. In addition, we use the data to optimise the website and to generally ensure the security of our information technology systems.

Duration of storage

The deletion of the aforementioned technical data takes place as soon as they are no longer required to ensure the compatibility of the website for all visitors, but no later than 3 months after accessing our website.

Objection and erasure options

You can object to the processing at any time in accordance with Article 21 of the GDPR and request the erasure of data in accordance with Article 17 of the GDPR. You can find out which rights you have and how to exercise them at the bottom of this privacy policy.

Communication by e-mail, registration for the press distribution list

Your personal data is protected by technical and organisational measures during collection, storage and processing so that it is not accessible to third parties. In the case of unencrypted communication by e-mail, we cannot guarantee complete data security on the transmission path to our IT systems, so that we recommend encrypted communication or the postal service for information requiring a high level of confidentiality.
